When renewing a Canadian Permanent Resident Card for a minor child, you will typically need to provide the following supporting documents:

1. Photographs: You must provide two identical passport-sized photos of your child. Ensure that the photos meet the specifications outlined in the application guide.
2. Copy of Current PR Card: If the child already has a PR card, include a photocopy of the front and back of the current card.
3. Proof of Canadian Residency: To demonstrate that the child has been physically present in Canada, you may need to provide copies of school records, medical records, or other documents that establish their residence in Canada.
4. Proof of Parental Status: You will need to prove your relationship to the child. This may include a birth certificate or other official documents showing your child’s relationship to the Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident.
5. Immigration Status Documents: If the child has traveled outside Canada, include documents that prove their immigration status, such as a Record of Landing or a Confirmation of Permanent Residence document.
6. Fees: Pay the required processing fees. Check the official website of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for the current fee structure.
7. Additional Documents: Depending on your specific situation, the IRCC may request additional documents or information. Always check the most recent application guide on the IRCC website for any updates and specific requirements.

Remember that the requirements can change over time, so it’s essential to be aware of the current IRCC requirements to ensure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information for your child’s PR card renewal application.
